What many may not know is the significance of this Camp. 

It is a Family Camp for 6 days with Swami Tejomayananda and other Acharyas.  It will offer a wonderful set of activities for the children as well as delightful, divine satsang for the adults. There will be attendees from across the US, and possibly some from abroad. Pujya Guruji (as Swami Tejomayananda is reverentially called)  is the Worldwide Head of Chinmaya Mission.  Guruji typically conducts only one or two Family Camps in the US each year. 

August 3rd of each year is also remembered by Chinmaya family all over the word as the day our Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda attained Mahasamadhi (the day he left this physical body and attained Samadhi/oneness with the Cosmic Consciousness) .   Hosting a Family camp with Guruji during this period is a unique opportunity offered to only one center all over the world each year. 

Preparations have begun. After months of extensive research, the Camp Committee has finalized the venue. RockyGap Resort and Lodges, a two-hour drive in Cumberland , Maryland (Rocky Gap Resort, Cumberland, MD) is an award winning resort in a beautiful location, next to the Rocky Gap State Park and with hills and a lake surrounding it. The location is very close to Frostburg where CMWRC hosted the 1991 International Camp with Pujya Gurudev. It combines the best of quiet resort luxury as well as the calm serenity of mother nature. It offers abundant outdoor activities for our children and youth.

Swami Dheerananda ji, Vilasini ji and several others have visited the site and are extremely happy with the facility, the surrounding ambience and the goodwill of the resort staff. We have received Pujya Guruji's blessings to go forward.

So what can you do?

We ask that you to block the dates (Monday July 28-Sunday Aug 3, 2008) on your calendar for this unique event. More details will follow - so keep a sharp watch. Plan for it as you would for an exciting vacation. We assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Unto Sri Gurudev.
